I’ll take the base unmodified over the almost-certain drivetrain/suspension/steering system failures on the wannabe monster truck.

I have a base bronco. Would any modifications be required to fit the badland 12,000 lb winch to the rough country high mount given the fact that I don’t have any sensors to deal with?

265/75r16. A little smaller and considerably lighter than my current tires, which will hopefully mean a smoother ride and less wear and tear on drivetrain during the winter months when I honestly won’t be doing as much non-pavement driving. In most pictures I’ve seen, the Base looks pretty good...

Chrome or white, the problematic part of the logo remains: Henry Ford’s last name. Love that the Bronco uses it minimally.

Picked up the refinished wheels (with mounted Toyo Open Country ATIII) today. They look great. Seams are well-coated and no apparent gaps. Shout out to Eduardo at Wheel Works Detroit. I’ll go the extra step of coating the seams with CRC Corrosion Inhibitor, and then this set will be ready for...

Agree. The reduced lag is what I see as the most beneficial aspect of running sport mode.

I put heavy 33” tires on a base non-Sas with the2.3L and 10 speed auto. When cruising at freeway speeds (70ish MPH), the bronco hunts for gears a lot less if it’s in Sport mode. Given my spec, nothing engages when I switch to Sport mode. Just turns off Auto start/stop and makes the shift points...

New flaps. More pics when the slop starts in a month or so…

They’re definitely not measuring from the rear lower control arm mounts. I’m not trying to talk bad about the 6G. I’ve had my non-Sas base on 33” M/Ts in places I couldn’t have imagined getting out of with my old Jeep Wrangler SE.

It’s not a fair assessment, because there are always a number of factors in a situation like this that can’t be accounted for entirely. But objectively, since we’re talking about getting high centered in muddy ruts, the Jeep JL Sport has higher clearance and a limited slip. Clearance in these...

Installed a set of Bro Flaps on my base non-sas.

Here are a couple side views for comparison with my “before” pic above.

I had my ‘97 Jeep Wrangler undercoated by a place in Midland, MI called Henderson Brothers Rustproofing. When I took it in, there was zero surface rust on the undercarriage and after two Michigan winters it looked like it did the day I took it there. Still had the grease pencil markings from the...

Ok! Received and installed my Non-Sas Bro Flaps! Super fast shipping (ordered Friday, arrived Monday) from Portland, OR to Detroit, MI. As I said in my previous post, customer service through their Etsy shop was truly great. Part of this high level of service was a direct message with links to...

I’m considering it. But having a shadow black bronco, I’m not sure many colors other than black or silver/gray make sense. I have thought about a camel or olive color and black lugs.

Ha. Yeah. Mentioned this issue in my build thread a few weeks ago. Now that summer is coming to an end up here, it’s time to brace for rust season. Really appreciate the insights on what constitutes a quality/lasting refinish. Picked up a fairly clean set with TPMS for $100 today and dropped...

Just ordered a set today for my base non-Sas two door. Front and rear. Seems like there are a lot of pricey flaps out there that will flex but have some fairly complex hardware. And, then there are affordable rigid flaps that seem likely to crack or tear off the fender flares or both. Hoping...

Hey all! I’ll jump right to it… for those of you who are steelies diehards, any signs of how difficult these are gonna be to maintain? Literally from day one - when my dealer swapped the stock Duellers for 33” Wildpeaks - I had scratches down to bare metal in several places. The dealer did...

The sound of these engines running cold for the first couple minutes it’s unsettling. For sure.

Same experience here.
